A video showing DMK’s Viralimalai constituency candidate M Palaniyappan begging the public to give him one last chance and vote for him in the upcoming elections is going viral on social media.
The video shows him begging and tearing up while he asks people for votes. He says the following in the video:
“After 30 years of being in this party, they have given me the last chance of contesting in the elections on behalf of the DMK. I consider this to be my one and only opportunity. Please render your support and help me serve you by voting. I fall at your feet and ask you to vote for me. I have not desired for anything, and have never even received a penny of bribe in all my years in politics. I will not receive any bribe even in the future. I consider serving for you my biggest pride. Please give me just one chance and vote for me.”
Saying so, he wipes his tears with the DMK coloured shawl that he is seen wearing around his neck. He goes on to say that he has lost everything and is now begging at the feet of his constituents to vote for him. He is seen saying this in between sobs and chokes in the end.
It is to be noted that in 2011, Palaniappan had contested as an independent candidate and in 2016, he contested on a DMK ticket. Both times, he lost to AIADMK’s Vijayabhasker.
